    The tomb looks so nice and astheticlly beautiful. And environment here is also so nice. And one must come here to spend quality time here. With freinds and family. But some people do not care about this beautiful place as they sit on tombs as well as week parts of the structure. Which should be not done. And this should be looked by the athorities.

    A must visit place in Gwalior.. Don't miss this place...Tomb of Mohammad Ghaus is located near Hazira Chowk in Gwalior. There is no entry fees to visit this place. Timings of this place are from Sunrise to Sunset ( according to a board right near entry. The entrance is inside a small street hence not clearly visible from main road.. This place is more popular as Tansen ka maqbara and not as tomb of Mohammad Ghaus..It is a beautiful park where there are many masoleum and tombs. The main Building is the Masoleum of Mohammad Ghaus, just on the right side , tomb of Tansen exists. And to the left , tomb of Bahu Sahiba exists, she was the wife of Mohammad Ghaus. And there are many other graves of their subordinates... the park is well maintained and peaceful.. The main tomb is a marvel of architecture. The main building is very huge , has a great scale and the jalis on the outside of the building are very detailed and beautiful, one can spend hours relaxing on the beautiful garden watching this beautiful masterpiece of architecture. The tomb of Ghuas has a white grave inside the tomb and people come here to pray..So don't go with the shoes inside..Just remove them outside the stairs. The best time to visit this place is early morning or in the evening...Sharing autos are also easily available from Hazira Chowk. Car Parking space is not available..

    Tomb of Moh Gaus, a famous Sufi saint in the reign of Akbar, Situated in Hazira Gwalior. Saint died in Agra but buried in Gwalior. A memorial of Tansen, disciple of Moh Gaus also placed nearby his tomb. This place is considered a holy remarkable place for classical singers and artist. They offer prayers here to strengthen their spiritual and melodious connection with art. There is also a tamarind tree, chewing of its leaf makes voice more melodious, a tradition associated with this place.

    Marvel of Spiritual Strength It is located on Northern fringe of Gwalior city with beautifully spread lawns and variety of Rose plants, adding colours to its serenity. A beautiful piece of Persian architecture where saint Ghous Mohammad and his family members rest in peace with his disciple and music.

    Tomb of Sufi Saint from 16th Century built by Akbar. One of the best Sandstone Jali works I have seen in any of the Monuments. The outdoor gardens are very well landscaped. This Monument is right in the centre of Bazaar area and hence it is better to visit early morning before Market starts or go by rickshaw or walk. No parking available at site. Public Utilities available. Site is very well maintained. Their are some more graves of his family members outside the tomb. Worth a visit.

    Timings: 9 AM to 5 PM Entry Fee: Free At a distance of 1 km from Gwalior Fort and 3 km from Gwalior Junction, Tombs of Mohammed Ghaus & Tansen are situated in the town of Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Well known for its architecture, the tomb complex is one of the prominent sightseeing attractions in Gwalior. The Tomb of Mohammad Ghaus was built in 16th century AD during the Akbar's rule. Ghaus Mohammed was an Afghan Prince who later converted into a Sufi saint. According to legend, Mohammad Ghaus assisted Babur when he was conquered the fort of Gwalior in 1526 CE. The Sufi saint who belongs to 16th century occupies an important position in the history of Mughal India and is said to have had great influence over Mughal emperors like Babur and Humayun.

    Set amongst a serene park frequented mostly by local populace one can find this monument built more than five hundred years ago. Road leading upto the monument is a bit congested but once inside it’s very peaceful. Best visits would be during late afternoon for the golden light from the sun.

    Underrated place that can only be accessed via 1 way through main road with a narrow lane connecting this place to it. Ghaus Tomb is a sufi shrine built beautifully with intricate jaali work by carving the yellow sand stone of Gwalior. It's a tranquil place that helps you feel some serenity and peace, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. One thing that I found really interesting os that people have attached their wedding invitation on the main shrine to invite the sufi saint to bless their families and let everything happen without any obstacle. If you are visiting this city and have some time to explore it, I'd suggest you to visit this place.

    It’s a tomb for Mohd Ghaus and Tansen at one place. Good garden to sit in sun and relax with less crowd. From tourist perspective, nothing much to see and admire, it can be a tick in the box. If your schedule is tight then you can skip this place. There is no ticket to visit this and toilets are ther just at the entry of building. Whole premise or area is not too big. Don’t take your care as ther is no parking and then you have to park on road side only.

    Visited this tomb back in January before the lockdown. This tomb was constructed for Mohammad Ghaus, the Sufi saint and advisor to the Mughal Emperor Akbar, music teacher to Tansen, whose tomb is also in this tomb complex. The building walls are beautifully crafted of fine latticework, while the building is a fine example of Mughal architecture. One of the best things to see in Gwalior.

    Tricky to find the entrance which is down a side alley off a bustling 'market' Street. Once you enter the grounds, peace descends. Beautiful building, worth walking around the corridor that runs around the outside of the central prayer room.

    Tomb of Mohammad Ghaus, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India Muhammad Ghaus (or Ghawth) was a 16th c Sufi saint and teacher of the Mughal emperor Humayun as well as Tansen, the famous musician in Akbar’s court. The saint’s large tomb, built in the second half of the 16th c during Akbar’s rule, is the main structure in the garden complex located about a kilometer away from Gwalior Fort’s main eastern approach, and is surrounded by graves and smaller pavilion tombs, including that of Tansen. The large central dome of the saint’s tomb tops the actual enclosed and walled large single room that houses the tomb, and the surrounding structure is more like a verandah with jaalis (perforated stone screens), which gives the structure a larger “enclosed” appearance than it actually has. The central dome with four small chattris (domed pavilions) resting on a prominent rectangular base has a shape much like many domes found in central India, for example similar to the domes of Hoshang Shah’s tomb in Mandu and the Mandu Jami Masjid.

    Beautiful & well maintained monument to great Sufi saint Mohammed Ghous. The legend is that Ghous was a Afghan prince who fought with Babur but subsequently became a Sufi saint. He was guru of Tansen as well. A small tomb of Tansen the great classical singer & composer is also present in this complex. Built in 16th century during the time of king Akbar the monument has beautiful & intricate lattice or Jali work. Set in green lawns the Tomb looks beautiful. It is a Dargah in fact as per stone notice board there - मोहम्मद गौस की दरगाह. Open early morning till six in the evening. Entry free. Parking not available. Afternoons are hot therefore take care.

  • 5/5 SUDHIR KUMAR SINGH K. 4 years ago on Google
    It is just a graveyard of Sufi saint Muhammad Gaus and his spiritual disciples. Tansen was most famous disciple of him. He was all the time greatest musician in the human history after Baiju Bawara. He was one of the navratna of Mugal Baadshah Mohammad Jalaluddin Akbar's court. An another's graveyard is also made up near the gate on the left side at Tansen's tomb. And a tamarind tree is also situated on the left of the back of the Tansen's tomb . A dargaah is placed in the main building. Bahu sahiba ka makbara indicates a lady's memorial on the left side of back of this premises. On some grave something is written which may be in Arabic, Persian or Urdu but we can't understand this.....💐

  • 4/5 Mohammed I. 3 years ago on Google
    Tomb of Muhammad Ghaus The largest tomb in the park belongs to Muhammad Ghaus. Born in 1500 AD, Muhammad Ghaus was a Sufi saint and musician who assisted Barbur with his acquisition of Gwalior Fort in 1526. The tomb is square with a slightly squat central dome which was once decorated with blue tiles, now sadly missing. The walls of the tomb are nearly 2m thick, supporting hexagonal corner towers crowned by smaller domes. The highlight of this tomb from an architectural perspective are the carved stone lattices (jaalis) , which are on the outer wall of a lofty verandah that surrounds the inner chamber. Mohammed Ghaus was the teacher (Guru) of Tansen. Tomb of Tansen is nearby to the tomb of his guru.

    Ghaus Mohammed was a 15th century Sufi saint. He was an Afghan prince who later became a Sufi. He was the teacher of musician Tansen. He was the advisor of King Babur. The Tomb of Ghaus Mohammed is the best example of Medieval Mughal architecture design. The tomb has a gorgeous look with its mind blowing architectural beauty and stone carvings. Ghaus Muhammed never adorned any seat of power, but different Mughal rulers including Akbar the Great took years of effort to build such a marvellous tomb in memory of him. It shows the prestigious position he had among the ruled. The Tansen Tomb or the Memorial or Tansen is also placed nearby. #MohammedGhausTomb
